Reading some of his other posts on twitter, this 'neuroscientist' sounds pretty screwed up and needs all the help he can get on that brain of his

How about this... Before, during and after (bottom to top) Renegades loss to the Scorchers. He went to the game as a Renegades fan.

The bloke is obviously unstable.

I can't believe how many people on here don't see a problem with that.

She was a journalist doing her job - she shouldn't have to go through that. He wouldn't say that to a male journalist. He's essentially saying to her face that he doesn't respect her as a journalist.

It's complete bullshit and he is rightfully being sanctioned for it.

Because everyone was happy for it to just be a passing joke and move on. The way it has escalated is crazy though. He even apologised to her at the end of the interview. Sure he's a bit of an idiot to say what he did but that's it. Definitely not condoning his actions, I just think the reaction to it has been over the top.

Yeah, she definitely looked happy about it at the end of the interview.

He said sorry so it's ok? So we live in a world where you can be a massive bag of dicks to people as long as you immediately apologise? That's not how the world works.

Apparently the girl on The Project made a 'gaffe' and called it the Big Breast League.

Loving Andrew Webster too. He's good for a whinge.

Finish reading what I said. I said I wasn't condoning it and that he's an idiot, of course what he said was wrong but he obviously realised it.

In my experience, a lot of women quite fancy fit multi millionaire proffessional sports athletes.

Is the issue that he asked for a drink, or that he did it during him being interviewed while on camera? I'd say he fancies her. She is very attractive and she is into sport. That is enough to get a lot of men keen for her.

Why is it different that he asked her during the interview and not after? She could decline him on camera if she wanted to do so. They're not co-workers.

If broadcasters are going to use hot women with extreme sex appeal to interview proffesional athletes during and after games with testorone flowing, they will get asked out for a drink by the athletes. On air or off air. They may even get called attractive on air by the sportsman.

It was flattering to her. He was hardly inviting her for a Matty Johns type situation in the dressing room with his entire team. He has not disrespected her as a journalist. He has flattered her as a person.

Basically its pretty rough to hit on women in the workplace. Good looking women in customer service cop it all the time because they can't just tell the customer to f**k off.

If Gayle had hit on her off camera in private who cares. She can tell him to f**k off if she isn't interested. As it were she has to humour him because she needs to be professional for her job.

He works for sports clubs. She works for a broadcaster. Different companies.

Thy can decline and rebuke advances there or outside of work. They may feel the need to be more polite at work, but either way they can firmly say - "no thanks".

She was interviewing Gayle. The subject is Gayle. Gayle has expressed he would like to take her on a date. Journalists cannot have a double standard of asking questions of people and then expressing horror when the said person asks a question of them back in return.

Well then she is a f**kwit.

Does she never want to drink, date or both?

I know its common for kiwis to ignore consent when it comes to harassing sheep but women aren't compelled to want to go on a date in Australia.

Hahaha. Well that probably says more about them not finding Australian men attractive.
